"It's not in vain that I've been consciously training my control since I started cultivating; now I've finally gained something!"
Regarding the control of Soul Power, the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent also have their own training methods, but due to their limited knowledge and understanding, they have never thought of controlling Soul Power and the body from a microscopic perspective. They only believe in what they see and hear.
Of course, reaching the realm of microscopic control is definitely related to Spiritual Power. After all, not everyone can reach such a strong level of Spiritual Power at the Soul Emperor level.
Xu Yang's Spiritual Power should have reached the level of Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu, but the quantity is much less than those who have cultivated for hundreds of years.
At this moment, Xu Yang also realized why Limit Douluos can live for hundreds of years, and even the Sea God lived for thousands of years before becoming a god. Perhaps it is because their Spiritual Power is strong and they can perform microscopic control, so they can keep their bodies active and extend their lifespan.
And now, he not only has enough Spiritual Power, but also comprehended the realm of Harmony of Man and Nature, and his cultivation to Titled Douluo will be smooth sailing.
He can also get a glimpse of the realm of Limit Douluo, or even God.
And to break through to Titled Douluo, one must condense a Soul Core in the body, so that Soul Power changes from liquid to solid.
This is also the main reason why Xu Yang chose the over 80,000-year-old Sun Worm King for his sixth Soul Ring, the purpose is to use the Soul Skill of Sun Gaze to compress energy and Soul Power into one point.
His current Spiritual Power and control are definitely far beyond the standard for condensing a Soul Core, what he lacks is only Soul Power.
But he is confident that when his Soul Power at level sixty-nine is accumulated enough, he can condense a Soul Core and use this power to break through to level seventy. This is also the optimal time to condense a Soul Core that he specifically looked at in the Douluo four-part series in his previous life.
At this breakthrough node, incorporating the Soul Core into the body, and then absorbing the seventh Soul Ring, can not only enhance the power of the Spirit Avatar, but also extend the duration of the Spirit Avatar. And with the formation of the Soul Core, even without meditation, he can guide the heaven and earth Essence into the meridians and Soul Core, greatly increasing the cultivation speed after becoming a Soul Saint.
However, in addition to the Soul Core, Xu Yang also has another idea in his mind, and the priority of this idea is even above the Soul Core.
That is the Inner Alchemy Method, the Golden Core Path of condensing one's Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
After cultivating for so many years, with the increase of knowledge, cognition, and state of mind, Xu Yang guessed that the Soul Core theory is flawed.
Although the Soul Core is a necessity for breaking through to Titled Douluo, when the strength reaches a certain limit, it is necessary to condense the second and third Soul Cores. However, the condensation of the latter two Soul Cores is not as safe as the first Soul Core, whether it is the Homologous Resonance Soul Core or the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core.
The Homologous Resonance Soul Core is okay, as long as the Spiritual Power is sufficient, the control is strong enough, and you are careful, there is still no problem in condensing the second Soul Core.
But the other Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core is extremely dangerous. In the original book, Huo Yuhao, who gathered all kinds of cheats, almost died with the help of Mu Lao and his Dragon Pill, which shows the danger of condensing a Soul Core in this way.
However, high risk also means high reward. If the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core is successfully condensed, after the two Soul Core vortexes collide and merge to reach a balance, the Soul Power in the body will simultaneously possess the characteristics of the two Soul Cores, and the newly generated Soul Power will also become vortex-shaped. This vortex-shaped Soul Power must be a combination of Spiritual Power and Soul Power.
Just like after Huo Yuhao condensed the Spiritual Soul Core and the Ultimate Ice Soul Core, the Soul Power in his body possessed the characteristics of Spirit and Ultimate Ice, and his body also possessed vortex-shaped Soul Power. It was a new Soul Power combined with his Spiritual Power and Ultimate Ice Soul Power, which was not only easy to control, but also terrifyingly powerful.
And this kind of fusion Soul Power is the reason why the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core is stronger than the Homologous Resonance Soul Core.
But Xu Yang felt that condensing a Soul Core in this way was too dangerous. Why not completely condense the Essence, Qi, and Spirit into one when condensing the Soul Core at the beginning? This would not only have fusion Soul Power, but also avoid the danger of the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core.
This is also the reason why he wants to cultivate the Golden Core Path.
As a former Chinese, who doesn't have a Xianxia dream, so Xu Yang has also read some theories of Inner Alchemy, but it is only limited to understanding. He only knows that the cultivation of Inner Alchemy has four stages: Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness, and Returning to Emptiness and Merging with the Dao.
Although he doesn't know much, he also knows that these four stages are how cultivators reverse the innate and condense the Essence, Qi, and Spirit into one. And to do this, cultivation must first complete the Small Heavenly Cycle cultivation to combine Essence and Qi into Qi, and then cultivate the Great Heavenly Cycle to combine Qi and Spirit, so that Qi returns to Spirit.
To put it simply, it is to allow the energy in the body to be transformed into each other, so that the Essence and Qi can be condensed from the Lower Dantian and rise to the Middle Dantian to condense and transform into True Qi, and then the True Qi rises again to the Niwan Palace, which is the sea of spiritual consciousness, to transform it into Spiritual Power. Finally, the Spiritual Power sinks from the Ren and Du Meridians back to the Lower Dantian to transform into Essence and Qi.
From then on, the three energies of Essence, Qi, and Spirit can circulate back and forth.
And to achieve this cycle, one must have the realm of Harmony of Man and Nature and the method of running the Small and Great Heavenly Cycles in the body. After the Essence, Qi, and Spirit can be transformed into each other, one can use the power of heaven and earth, with Spirit as the Fire, Essence and Qi as the medicine, and the three Dantians as the furnace, so that Spirit and Essence and Qi are combined in the Ren and Du Meridians, and finally the Essence, Qi, and Spirit are united into one, condensing the Golden Core.
It is difficult for Taoists to achieve Harmony of Man and Nature, but Xu Yang has achieved it. What is difficult is the method of running the Small and Great Heavenly Cycles. Although he has already opened up the Ren and Du Meridians and knows the location of the three Dantians, he does not know the Taoist cultivation theory of his previous life at all. Apart from the Ren and Du Meridians, he does not even know the corresponding Bagua and Five Elements of the other meridians, and it is difficult to complete the complex Heavenly Cycle operation.
"Alas! I can only study it myself first, but the Soul Core cannot be left behind. If this Inner Alchemy doesn't work, I still have the Soul Core to fall back on!"
Thinking about it, Xu Yang sighed quietly, and the hand he placed on Ning Rongrong's face began to gently pinch, her delicate skin making him reluctant to let go.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong had already awakened, her pretty face flushed red. She never expected that she would climb onto her Yang Ge's body while sleeping, and even have her face touched and pinched, making her feel very embarrassed.
She didn't dare to open her eyes, so she could only pretend to be asleep, hoping that Xu Yang would let her go in a while, so she wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that her every move was within Xu Yang's perception. When his thoughts returned, he knew that she was already awake, so he pinched her face to see her reaction.
Seeing Ning Rongrong choose to pretend to be asleep, how could Xu Yang let her have her way? He chuckled softly, "Rongrong, stop pretending to be asleep."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong had no choice but to open her eyes, glaring at Xu Yang reproachfully. She knocked Xu Yang's hand away, quickly got off him, and stood aside to tidy up her wrinkled clothes.
